Your Former Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 28

So in other words, everything had been his own misunderstanding.

His wife had never held favorable feelings toward him, nor had she ever intended to make things work between them. From the very beginning, she had simply—literally—wanted a child.

Her suggestion to share a room had not meant improving their relationship, but rather carried the same implication as “hapbang” in the Joseon era.

Bluntly put, this was no different from treating him as nothing more than a sperm donor at a sperm bank.

It was a phrase he had never even heard from his grandfather—who, ever since their marriage, had repeatedly pressured him by asking at every meeting when his great-grandchild would be born. He never dreamed he’d hear such words from Seo Yeon—until yesterday.

Now that he grasped her true intentions, even the earlier incident—when she had mentioned an absurd contract and promised him freedom in dating—suddenly made sense.

It had simply meant: “I don’t need your affection; just fulfill your duties.”

In that instant, all his recent actions—wondering about his wife’s thoughts, worrying over her, attaching significance to every little gesture she made, and feeling excited over it—struck him as utterly foolish.

His pride lay crushed and crumpled, and his sinking mood showed no sign of lifting anytime soon.

Sung Jun irritably raised an eyebrow.

The very fact that he, who detested deviations from plans, had canceled meetings and rearranged his schedule over the past few days in hopes of having a proper conversation with his wife had been a serious mistake from the start.
